Pax Jolie-Pitt is not letting the aftermath of his horrific e-bike crash stop him from supporting his mother, Angelina Jolie.
The "Eternals" actress and her son stepped out for their first public event since his near-fatal accident, with Pax flaunting his scars as he posed for pictures at the Toronto International Film Festival.
Angelina Jolie and Pax looked closer than ever in matching ensembles for the big night, a pale contrast to their relationship with Brad Pitt. The mother and son have been estranged from the "Bullet Train" actor over their contentious divorce.
Angelina Jolie And Pax Step Out In Matching Ensembles Two Months After His Accident
Angelina and Pax attended the Toronto International Film Festival for the premiere of the actress's new movie "Without Blood." The 2024 war drama film was written, co-produced, and directed by the Hollywood veteran, with her son in the assistant co-director seat.
Pax looked dashing in an all-black suit and smart white dress shirt for the event, pairing the number with a black tie and matching sunglasses. However, his injuries from his e-bike crash caught attention.
He donned a black arm cast underneath a sleeve with a gruesome scar on his forehead. While he did not have Harry Potter's signature lightning bolt scar, Pax's wound was also a reminder of a close encounter with death.
In the pictures obtained by Page Six, the 20-year-old was unbothered by the large scar on his forehead as he posed for the paparazzi. Angelina sported a similar proud smile as she held Pax's arm, looking stunning in a form-fitting black dress and matching gloves.
The Mother And Son Stepped Out Days Earlier
While the Toronto International Film Festival marks Angelina and Pax's first public event since the e-bike accident, it was not the first time they were spotted together. The Blast reported the pair were seen days earlier in Los Angeles.
For the outing, Pax sported a casual look featuring a white T-shirt layered with a black Nasir Mazhar vest. He paired the outfit with loose black pants, white sneakers, and a black bucket hat with the word "MIRACLE" inscribed across the front.
He also donned a thick purple cast on his right arm while his mother looked stylish in a white shirt underneath a cream-colored cardigan. She paired the ensemble with matching trousers, dark sunglasses, and brown boots.
The mother and son's outing came at the heels of recent reports about Pax's driving issues. Sources revealed he had crashed his Tesla into a parked truck outside RED Studios Hollywood just two months before his e-bike accident.
Pax's Car Crash Was Reportedly Not A DUI Case
While the cause of Pax's car crash was unclear, officers who responded to the scene confirmed the accident did not stem from alcohol usage. They reportedly confirmed the 20-year-old was not driving under the influence, nor was he hurt during the collision.
Pax escaped harm-free thanks to the airbag that deployed itself after he crashed into the truck. Unfortunately, the front of the Tesla was severely damaged, as seen in pictures from the accident.
It was speculated that the crash was caused by Pax losing control of the vehicle or his inability to see the parked truck as the incident occurred close to midnight. He eventually left the scene after a private car picked him up.
Pax Remains Estranged From His Father Despite His Near-Fatal Accident
Although Pax's e-bike crash could have cost his life, a source stressed that the 20-year-old and his family did not see it as a reason to reconcile with Brad Pitt. In their words:
"Don't expect Pax's accident to bring the family dynamic back in any way, as Pax is 100 percent on Angie's side and doesn't want any well-wishes or remorse from Brad."
Brad has been estranged from Angelina and their six children since their 2016 split, an issue that hasn't stopped him from wishing them the best. While he couldn't visit Pax during his hospitalization, he reportedly stayed updated about his son's well-being.
Brad Pitt Wants Pax To Make A Full Recovery
Last month, The Blast shared that Brad had been monitoring his son's progress after his nasty e-bike accident. An insider claimed he hoped Pax's recovery would "go in the right direction."
The Hollywood veteran reportedly wanted his son to bounce back and eventually "get to a good place." Earlier reports claimed Brad was "shocked and emotional" when he received news about Pax's accident in July.
Brad was allegedly shocked that Pax did not have a helmet on during the incident, given his tumultuous history with the bike. The 20-year-old has been involved in multiple accidents in the past, but nothing as severe as his recent crash.
